    I have 97 GTP that has cancer, all the brake lines are rusted relpaced the back ones after one sprung a leak while on my way home from work.replaced booth lines to the rear brakes, Now I can not get the back brakes to bleed. No fluid will come out of them. I have tried vacuum pump and the old fashion pump the pedal method.

    Since i was driving the car do I need to to reset the abs piston so it will allow fliud back to the rear brakes ?

    Thanks head time for any help I can get

    It should bleed just fine. I replaced some brake lines on my car a week or so ago. Maybe your bleeders are bad. Do you get fluid if you pull the bleeder all the way out?

    Hmm. Did the previous owner kink the lines to the rear to stop them from leaking or something? Sounds likely.

    Then they wouldn't have leaked in the first place.
